The Beyond War Movement began in 1982 as a citizen response to the (1) threat of global nuclear catastrophe, (2) growing awareness of our oneness and obsolescence of war, and (3) realization that only individuals working together could redirect history and build a world beyond war.In the 21st century this knowledge is equally important. Beyond War's history is described on the Web at http://www.globalcommunity.org/history.shtml.

In February, 1989, a team of Soviets and Americans met, talked, wrote, studied, and talked some more.
They became convinced that recent changes in the world have not been incremental but radical, abrupt, total.
We now live in a different world that we did even five years ago. Everything has changed.
This booklet of insights, principles, and quotes is to stimulate each citizemd to respond
for the good of the entire global community.
